Tuesday, January 1/, SHED LIGHT ON OLD TIMES f Interesting Official Document* Rec*nt- ; ly Found in the State House at Philadelphia. Xncrusted with dust, yellow with ! mem cftma nihhlui] hv lili(?. 2. real ! ?6VI OVA4IV ? y . tre> 3ure trine of documents has been ! discovered by workmen restoring the j old state house, the last of the group j of Independence hall buildings to re- ! ceive the city's atteution, says a press j dispatch from Philadelphia. The build- j ing was the seat of the city govern- ; Client until 1S53. i One of the official papers relates | that Robert Wharton, once mayor of ! Philadelphia, addressing the select council on December 19, 1S14, de- j plored the increase of "tippling ; houses," especially those that sold ' "ardent spirits*' to minors, in one and j ttro cent quantities. Another record showed that as late as May 9. 1816, i i a resident of that city paid as a tax for being allowed to carry a watch. In the "tippling house" address of Mayor Wharton he called the old-time saloons "vile sinks." G;...iing houses also came in for his attack. He declared that many such houses were being operated in the city openly for the destruction of the unwary, and lamented that there were no laws against them. A refer- ' ence to a fine of 10 shilling for the unlawful discharge of firearms was i j mentioned by Mayor Wharton. f He criticized the filthy condition of "certain footways" and recommended fixing the pavements on many city streets. j A police flyer was also found near where the old rogues' gallery used to be, and in those days this was an actual gallery around the police court. The flyer was dated about the middle of the last century, and with it were ! photographs of a prominent New York j onH man who had ' LUTZi I^iian i, utiu OVV.AVIJ run away with another man'? wife. The names might surprise their descendants, now numbered among New York's "four hundred." The documents date from 1775 to 18T>3, the majority belonging to the years of the last decade of the Eight- < eenth century and the first two decfides of the Nineteenth. John Home Tooke. A renegade priest, wno openi.v j scoffed at his calling and who led a 1 life, to say the least, which could not j be called respectable, would not be well esteemed as a private citizen, notwithstanding his learning and the in- : genuity of his own generally admired work. 'The Diversions of Purley." John Home Tooke was born on .Tune j 25. 1736. and it was not so many years after that he was looked upon as one j of the political pests of the era. It is | rather startling that all the public 5 questions on which his opinions were darned mischievous have since been i settled in his favor. Tooke was fined and imprisoned for j his opposition to England's war with her colonies. Twenty-three years after ; his death reforms in the house of com- j mons which he strongly advocated were brought about. He was the tirsr j prominent Englishman to proclaim trie advantages of free trade, and his biography may well be Uept in view as a monument to the futility of intoler- : tnce.?Chicago Journal.

UNFOLDS A TERRIBLE TALE Captain Returning From Voyage to tha Torrid Zone Has Story #f Wonderful Experience. A terrible tale of the torrid zone was unfolded by ('apt. K. H. Ti>rrible the other day on the arrival of the cf055m*>!* l><-?ujsi which niies between New York and Manaois, a port about 1,000 miles up th* Amazon river. The skipper vowed by marine and other saints that never had he seen sights so strange, according to tlie New lork Times. On a river which empties into the Amazon, near Manaois. he said he saw myriads of electric eels so strongly charged with electricity that the broad bosom ot' ihe stream was flooded with iight and the crew were able to read their pocket Bibles by the glow, which was estimated at 4U wans ytr eei. When seamen brought some of these high-voltaged eels 021 deck, Captain Torrible said, the ship's dynamos were short circuited and there was the dickens to pay until the eels were disconnected. But Skipper Torrible hadn't finished. While the Denis was tied up at the pier, a boy who was working with a ) - ? -frvll inf A tha VIWT 'FllP iOUUUlg icu IUIU in*, K<V<, luminous eels surged around him, and when he was picked up he was dead. A physician who examined the body said that the lad was the victim of an clectric overcharge. Captain Tor rible brought back with him a sundodging monkey, which prowled only n. ,|1?i ciini-iii til nigiu. xie ucnaicu mm mt like ail owl, was casual aiul apathetic by day, but when the sun went over the horizon the monkey had glims and was an ultra-iively stepper. The captain took newspaper men into his cabin, where the pet was kept, and pulleft down the shades. The sun dodger reacted to the gloom by appropriating aud immediately eating a straw kelly recently purchased at con siderable outlay by one of the reporters. The skipper said, that he had purchased a Brazilian sloth to bring back to the United States, but the animal was too lazy to eat and died on the way here. REAL HUMORIST OF AMERICA In One Writer's Opinion, the touniry Editor Is Entitled to Honor of the Title. The funniest things which are written and printed in this country are r^r u'pltton hv* Trvin ('nhh or Geonxe Ade or King Lardner. They are nut written by the professional humorist of the great newspapers. They are written by the so-called country editors and notably by socalled country editors of Ohio and Kansas. We hardly think anyone with a real sense ?f humor who reads large numbers of newspapers and magazines and modern books will disDute this assertion. Humor is merely the ability to see and react understanding!}- to the mirth-provoking side of human nature, which is not the least ample of it* sides. A humorous paragraph may bt grossly exaggerated iu its interpretation of human nature, but human nature must be somewhere down near the bottom of it or it is a failure. . This explains why humor is so much more amusing, so much more satisfying than wit. Wit needs no human nature as its foundation. 1; may be simply a lightning-like play on inert words, sufficient to cause a smile, a Jauffh perhaps, but none of the soiid comfort derived by the discerning t'rouu true humor.?Ohio State Journal.
